Fully 10 years have past. Both father and son gone but not forgotten. Hope the daughter and remaining son are doing well.

Hard to believe it was in 2013 and yet so much has happened since then including the pandemic. What a great guy. I feel privileged that I knew both he and his Dad and still miss them as they both enriched my life. A McBurney story will still come up some times in talking about something. He and his Dad are probably get a laugh out of that.

Seems hard to believe five years have past. John had a lot of his father in him. Optimism, and a fearlessness in approaching life. Still miss him. My condolences to his family.

Although John was my brother's close friend, I learned to admire him and just love his company whenever he would visit our mother's house. I was truly saddened to learn of his passing. He will always be remembered - hope to see him, again, some day.

John was my longest close friend. As so many other of his friends have expressed to me in the last few days, he leaves us all with a gap in our lives. He will be truly missed. John was a good soul and treated all he met with the same kindness and honesty, regardless of their station in life. He "is" my fiend.
